Vapor Recovery Information System Standards

Stage II vapor recovery is a well-known air quality control measure that reduces ozone precursors from gasoline dispensing facilities (GDFs). As a result of its relative high-visual profile, Stage II vapor controls are sometimes proposed as a part of a regional air quality...

INTRODUCTION Under sponsorship of the API, Bonner & Moore has studied gasoline vapor recovery and the related costs of applying current recovery techniques, as a means of reducing benzene emissions. The results of this study are reported herein. The study was performed with the...

This RP covers required and recommended features of the following aspects of bottom loading and vapor recovery: a. The configuration and operation of 4-in. (101.6-mm) adapters for bottom loading. b. Tank vehicles equipped for bottom loading or vapor recovery. c....

Purpose and Scope This Recommended Practice (RP) is designed to provide guidance to owners and operators of gasoline dispensing facilities (GDF) to effectively operate and maintain Stage I and Stage II vapor recovery systems. This guide does not address the maintenance required...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a pilot study sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute (API} to evaluate the use of optical remote sensing (ORS) technology for determining emission factors as well as the dispersion of the emissions at an uncontrolled retail gasoline...

This Recommended Practice (RP) is a guide to procedures and equipment that should be used for the proper installation of underground storage systems for bulk petroleum products or used oil at retail and commercial facilities. The stored products include gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene,...

This specification covers four types of fuel storage tank vent caps with screen covered vent openings. The vent cap fits on the vent pipe by means of a threaded inlet or slip-over inlet. Vent caps covered by this specification shall be of the following types, sizes, and styles as specified (see 6...

1.1 Purpose and Scope This publication provides an overview of proven technologies for recovering free-product petroleum releases to groundwater. An approach is given to optimize free-product recovery (FPR) for minimal water production and free-product smearing. Information and...

This recommended practice defines conditions for evaluating the compatibility of vehicle fuel tanks and filler pipes with fuel dispensing facilities equipped with standard (non-vapor recovery) configuration as well as vapor recovery type nozzles. It applies to passenger...

This SAE Recommended Practice was developed primarily for gasoline-powered passenger car and truck applications to interface vapor recovery systems, but may be used in diesel applications, marine, industrial, and similar applications where a nozzle is required for filling. The...

003300-000000-000000 1 Scope 1.1 This Standard sets forth minimum requirements for hose and hose assemblies, including vapor recovery hose and assemblies, for use on dispensing devices for flammable and combustible liquids. A hose assembly consists of flexible hose and fittings...

Membrane-based Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) are an effective means of reducing energy cost and allow for scaling down HVAC equipment. Owing to their compact geometry and rough surfaces of the porous membrane substrate, ERV exchanger cores can be fouled by airborne particulate matter. In...
